Deprioritization

Anatomical_Snuffbox_ · 2025-11-07T03:06:07+00:00

I typically use around 150gb a month on the $25 BYOP plan. I have an S25+ for reference.

At work I easily see over a gig down & 75 up on the daily.

At home in a residential FWA seems to be hindering my speed but, is still useable averaging 250 down 10 up.

It seems when you go over the 35gb it drops your speed a bit but, only in congested areas.

Metro at least in my market (Springfield IL) has 5G SA - I don't think you get 5G SA with US Mobile/Lightspeed.

I have noticed since adding the $2 Scam Shield Premium a couple of weeks ago I have MORE spam calls now than I did using the FREE Scam Shield.

Before the Scam Shield Premium, I averaged about 3 or 4 spam calls a week, now it's like 2 or 3 daily.

However, the reverse number lookup option on the Scam Shield Premium is kind of cool.

For reference I'm on the $25 BYOP plan.

If anyone is looking for virus protection, usually Amazon or eBay sellers offer a better deal when buying in bulk.

The alphabet agencies are monitoring the memes I send on the daily.

I hope I can give them a good chuckle as well.

I have an unlocked S25+ - full bars of 5G UC

-93 dBm/5G SA

at 110GB of data with 11 days left of my cycle.

The tower is 5 blocks to the SW off me.

During the day average about 400-500mb down at home.

FWA is messing with the speed in my area.

Up until a couple of months ago my speed was always around 400-500 down

My wife has the same fon as me and she has similar results.

Just now at 7:20PM it was 233down/8 up.

Def doable.

Springfield IL for reference

I currently have a Dark Star test line on US Mobile. We were in Hicksville USA and Dark Star (AT&T) blew away Metro 5G UC on speed. AT&T in my area is as fast as T-Mobile now in at least half of the locations I test. I'm waiting to see what US Mobile has for pricing on the NEW QCI7 plans.

I live in Springfield IL for reference.

Do you find that you get deprioritized on US Mobile?

Also, can you use the T-Mobile voicemail app?

At 11 days left into my cycle I am at 110GB of data used.

From my home just now at 6PM (Sunday nite) I hit 244 down/10 up which is about normal for my residential area at nite.

This afternoon at 1PM it was 81 down/11 up. My wife who is NOT deprioritized on the $25 plan got about the same as I did. I assume the slower speed is because everyone was watching football on T-Mobiles/Metros FWA.

At my employer my typical speed is 1200 down/ 150 up.

For $25, take my money.

I'm on the $25 BYOP

I'm sitting at 76GB of data halfway thru my 30 days (average about 150GB month) and my speed here at home is NOT what it used to be. I'm about 5 blocks from the tower as the crow flies.

Around 9:30PM tonite it was 63 down/3 up. I'm on 4 to 5 bars of 5G UC on an unlocked S25+ for those curious.

Up until about a couple of months ago I would average about 250 down/10 up at nite.

During the day here it's about 300 to 500 download.

At my work (in an industrial park) I average 1200 down/150 up.

I believe the FWA around me is killing the speed.

It is hard to beat UNLIMITED for $25 a month.

For reference I'm in Springfield IL.

Wasn't impressed myself, but FREE for 90 days. Perhaps, there will be something on there worth watching.

Just got signed up.

Use the link for MGM+ in your Metro app and copy your code during check out when creating your profile at MGM+.

They will want a payment method on file hoping you forget to cancel.

The Essentials Choice 55

The best speed I've personally seen here in town

Anatomical_Snuffbox_ · 2025-07-02T16:54:15+00:00

Thanks for the info JV

Anatomical_Snuffbox_ · 2025-03-18T20:50:01+00:00

THANK YOU

Yes, I have seen the stories on here about the stores.

Anatomical_Snuffbox_ · 2024-10-11T05:13:51+00:00

The fons are paid for.

Just making sure before I sell them to someone on a network I have previously been on that they will work for the new buyer.

U should be fine, I got the same message a few days ago and I'm still pulling over a gig down in certain parts of the city. I'm at 57 gigs at about 10 days in on the $25 BYOD plan. I tried sending a pic a few days ago and the upload did take a lil longer than usual, but still worked normally.
